Chapter 765

Only a very few people know when Yang Yang returned to the national team, the purpose is to avoid trouble.

Unexpectedly, the pervasive media reporters and fans still got the news.

Maybe it's in Lijiang, maybe it's on the way to the Haigeng Base, or maybe it's the staff of the training base...

Anyway, the next day, when the national team had a morning training session, many international players only received the news of Yang Yang's return to the team, but there were already a large number of media reporters and fans at the scene, many of whom drove here specially.

The purpose of their trip is obviously not for the national team's upcoming South African Confederations Cup journey, but for Yang Yang.

It has been a week since Florentino announced his inauguration as president of Real Madrid.

In this week, Real Madrid officially announced the joining of Kaka, and the Italian media also quickly broke the news that Real Madrid is making an official offer for Inter Milan's super center Ibrahimovic, and the transfer fee is likely to exceed Kaka.

In the transfer market, all kinds of rumors are emerging one after another. There are some clubs sitting on the ground to raise prices, some agents are throwing stones to ask for directions, and some even take the initiative to come to the hot spots. All kinds of situations are emerging one after another.

But what everyone cares most about is still Yang Yang.

Marca conducted a survey on its official website. More than 500,000 Real Madrid fans voted, and more than 98% of Real Madrid fans were among the superstar candidates most looking forward to joining the Bernabeu in the transfer market this summer. I chose Yang Yang, far more than everyone else.

After looking forward to it for three years, the whole Madrid is looking forward to the legendary Yang Yang.

There is no doubt that the media around the world also very much want to see Yang Yang join Real Madrid. These are the two hot spots in the European transfer market this summer. If Yang Yang moves to Real Madrid, the two hot spots will be combined into one, and it will definitely detonate the world.

At the same time, they are more willing to see Yang Yang switch to the Bernabeu than Yang Yang to join the Camp Nou, Barcelona's only show, so that Real Madrid and Barcelona have contacts and are evenly matched.

Therefore, not only the fans of Real Madrid, but also the media around the world are promoting Yang Yang's transfer intentionally or unintentionally.

From Europe to Asia to North America to Africa, almost all the big and small newspapers around the world are discussing which team Yang Yang will go to.

But in this case, Yang Yang disappeared completely, and no one could find him.

The domestic media, on the other hand, adopted a wait-and-see approach, squatting on the national team and waiting for Yang Yang to appear.

So, in the training session on the second morning of Yang Yang's return to the team, the training base ushered in a rare grand occasion.

Media reporters and fans flocked to surround the training ground.

...

"It seems that you can't escape." Captain Zheng Zhiman teased Yang Yang enviously.

The rest of the team also looked at him with envy and admiration, but no one would question whether Yang Yang should be so loved by the media and fans, because they knew that Yang Yang deserved far more than that. .

Yang Yang noticed the eyes of his teammates and felt somewhat proud, but at the same time he was also deeply helpless.

He has tried his best to keep a low profile, but in the end...

"It's okay, I'll get it done as soon as possible."

In mid-June, we will go to South Africa to play the Confederations Cup.

This time, the Chinese team competed as the champion of the Asian Cup, and they were very lucky. They were drawn in the same group as Spain, South Africa and New Zealand, and the other group was Brazil, Italy, the United States and Egypt.

Different from the other group, the Chinese team is in this group. Except for Spain, the other three teams are similar in strength. South Africa is the host and has some advantages in the draw.

With the ridicule of many domestic media, FIFA has drawn the three weakest teams to the same group, and all the hard work is to help South Africa qualify from the group. .

Of course, this is also an opportunity for the Chinese team. If they can perform well and stand out from the group stage, they will directly enter the semi-finals, which is also an honor.

The opening game of this Confederations Cup is South Africa against China.

This is also Yang Yang's first appearance in the Confederations Cup.

Although the national team coach Alihan didn't say anything, everyone in the team was secretly thinking that if they could win South Africa in the first game, the possibility of the Chinese team advancing would be very high.

The reason is very simple. With Spain's strength, there is no suspense for three consecutive victories, and New Zealand is known as the weakest among the eight participating teams. As long as the Chinese team can win South Africa and New Zealand, it will be the best in the group. The second qualifying, into the semi-finals.

Although the Confederations Cup is not comparable to the World Cup, it is also a world-class stage and a rare training opportunity.

More importantly, Chinese football has become more and more popular in recent years, and many players who have performed well in the European League have emerged. For example, Chen Tao is the star of Anderlecht in Belgium, and Feng Xiaoting is Feyenoord. The main central defender, as well as Gaolin, Alkmaar can win the Eredivisie last season, the role of this center is also very obvious.

Zhou Haibin played for Benfica, and he has already shown some strength in the Champions League.

If the 29-year-old Zheng Zhi has gained a firm foothold in the Bundesliga Mainz, and the 30-year-old Zhao Junzhe is working hard for the Celtics, it is difficult for these two veteran national team officials to go further. Chen Tao, Feng Xiaoting, Gao Lin, Zhou Haibin, Hao Junmin and other players of the National Youth Team are all working hard to move forward.

The Confederations Cup is undoubtedly a very good platform and a rare opportunity.

Because of this, the atmosphere inside the national team is very good this time, and every player is high-spirited.

It goes without saying that Zheng Zhi and Zhao Junzhe were in their prime, Li Weifeng also showed a very good level after his transfer to the Korean league and returned to the main force.

For the sake of the team's metabolism, this time Alihan specially recruited younger goalkeepers Wang Dalei, Ajax winger Wu Lei, and Wolfsburg's Zhang Xizhe, Yu Dabao and Zhang Chengdong who played in the Portuguese Super League, and Zhang Linpeng of the Eredivisie.

These players are all young players who have emerged in the past period of time. They all stayed overseas at the age of 16 or 17 and gradually emerged. Zhang Linpeng, in particular, is very popular.

Veterans such as Sun Jihai and Li Tie are also gradually fading out of the national team. This has been in the process of metabolism since the 2007 Asian Cup. Today, the Chinese team has begun to prepare for the next ten years.

...

In recent years, with the rise of a group of young players led by Yang Yang, the Chinese team has gradually become a powerful emerging force in Asian football, but it still does not have much competitiveness in the international arena.

The overall level of Asian football is relatively weak, but when it comes to the international stage, it is still not enough when it comes to strong teams.

Therefore, the Chinese team has gradually found a set of playing methods suitable for them over the years, that is, in the Asian region, the main focus is on offense and defense, but in the international arena, they will unswervingly adopt a defensive counterattack strategy and fully entrust the offensive task to Yang Yang.

Such a style of play allows the Chinese team to cope on different fronts, and the team and players have gradually regained their confidence with their good results, especially Yang Yang, Chen Tao and other groups who have played in European football. The altar has a firm foothold for the internationals.

This time in South Africa, Alihan's strategy is still very clear, focusing on stability and focusing on defensive counterattacks.

The Chinese team and South Africa are probably half-way open. Although the Chinese team has Yang Yang, the world's No. 1 football player, South Africa also has well-known European stars such as McCarthy and Pinar. The team may not be able to win South Africa.

As for Spain, not to mention, the Chinese team can only have a way out if they are strictly guarded.

The only one that is sure to win is New Zealand, but it is also not too careless.

Therefore, after the training camp, the team's entire training program basically revolves around defense and counterattack, among which defense is the most important, especially for the defense strategies of the two different teams of South Africa and Spain.

In terms of counterattack, Yang Yang will take the lead, and Gao Lin and Chen Tao will serve as assistants.

Everyone in the team has full confidence in Yang Yang. As long as the defense can hold, Yang Yang will definitely be able to break the opponent's goal in front.

...

After the training session in the morning, Yang Yang specially stayed and was interviewed by the on-site media reporters, while interacting with the enthusiastic fans who came to the scene.

What the media is most concerned about is undoubtedly where Yang Yang will go next.

Regarding this issue, Yang Yang played Tai Chi, saying that he is still a Liverpool player, and he did not think too much about the future situation, and he is now more focused on the national team's competition, as for whether he will transfer in the future, It's not up to him to decide.

"I think it's more appropriate for you to ask Rick Parry this question." Yang Yang replied with a smile.

As for Real Madrid's new president, Florentino, who publicly expressed his interest in him, Yang Yang's response was to thank him.

"But I still say that, I'm a Liverpool player now and it's inconvenient to say too much about this kind of thing."

There are rumors that Barcelona is negotiating with Liverpool to consider using Eto'o to add money to introduce Yang Yang from Liverpool. Yang Yang's response to this is that he has not heard of such rumors, but he is very grateful for the favor from Barcelona. He has to listen to Liverpool's decision, he is a Liverpool player.

After a series of questions, domestic media reporters were at a loss for Yang Yang.

They found that no matter what kind of questions Yang Yang faced, he answered them without leaking, and logically and rationally, they did not leave any loopholes that could be drilled.

What's even more hateful is that his attitude from beginning to end is really so good that people are not angry, and he is very obedient and obedient.

Yang Yang, on the other hand, smirked in his heart. Compared with Europe, especially the paparazzi ancestors in the UK, the level of domestic media is really much worse, and it is quite easy to deal with.

The whole courtside interview lasted about half an hour, Yang Yang answered almost all questions, but the media reporters were finally persuaded to leave the national team training base for nothing.
